Well a loud mouth New Yorker is going to eat some humble pie.
Mad Dog Russo said he would retire if the Dbacks won the two games in Philadelphia to win the series in seven games.
Well, well, well.
Don't break your promise.
The Dbacks won 84 games. They are not the best team from the National League.
But the best team often does not win the World Series. That's baseball. The diamond of all games.
The thing is, the Dbacks are the best team in the National League.
I agree the Braves are the best team on paper, and the season record might confirm, but the Dbacks are in the World Series, and as a Brave fan, I don't like to say that but there is no other way to say.
It is the best game. It's pretty much a perfect game. The metrics are perfect.
The only real rules change wasn't the DH rule, it was lowering the mound 5 inches in 1969. It eliminated guys like Whitey Ford from being, well..Whitey Ford.
